(a) Organization Good Standing and Qualification. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all corporate power and authority required to (a) carry on its business as presently conducted, and (b) enter into this Agreement and the other agreements, instruments and documents contemplated hereby, and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The Company is qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would have a Material Adverse Effect. As used in this Agreement, “Material Adverse Effect” means a material adverse effect on, or a material adverse change in, or a group of such effects on or changes in, the business, operations, financial condition, results of operations, assets or liabilities of the applicable party and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(b) Due Authorization. All corporate actions on the part of the Company necessary for the authorization, execution, delivery of, and the performance of all obligations of the Company under this Agreement and the authorization, issuance, reservation for issuance and delivery of all of the Purchased Shares being sold under this Agreement, and this Agreement constitutes, legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except (a) as may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or others laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) the effect of rules of law governing the availability of equitable remedies and (b) as rights to indemnity or contribution may be limited under federal or state securities laws or by principles of public policy thereunder.

(i) Valid Issuance. The shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Agreement, will be, upon payment therefor by the Investor in accordance with this Agreement, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

(ii) Compliance with Securities Laws. Assuming the correctness of the representations made by the Investor in Section 4 hereof, the Purchased Shares will be issued to the Investor in compliance with applicable exemptions from (i) the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and (ii) the registration and qualification requirements of all applicable securities laws of the states of the United States.

(d) Compliance with Law and Charter Documents. The Company is not in violation or default of any provisions of its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, both as amended. The Company has complied in all respects and is in compliance with all applicable statutes, laws, rules, regulations and orders of the United States of America and all states thereof, foreign countries and other governmental bodies and agencies having jurisdiction over the Company’s business or properties, except for any instance of non-compliance that has not had, and would not reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

(e) SEC Documents.

(1) Reports. The Company has furnished to the Investor prior to the date hereof copies of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2000 (“Form 10-K ”), and all other registration statements, reports and proxy statements filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on or after January 29, 2000 (the Form 10-K and such registration statements, reports and proxy statements are collectively referred to herein as the “SEC Documents”). Each of the SEC Documents, as of the respective date thereof (or if amended or superseded by a filing prior to the Closing Date, then on the date of such filing), did not, and each of the registration statements, reports and proxy statements filed by the Company with the SEC after the date hereof and prior to the Closing will not, as of the date thereof (or if amended or superseded by a filing after the date of this Agreement, then on the date of such filing), contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(2) Financial Statements. The Company has provided the Investor with copies of its audited financial statements (the “Audited Financial Statements”) for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2000 (the “Balance Sheet Date”). Since the Balance Sheet Date, the Company has duly filed with the SEC all registration statements, reports and proxy statements required to be filed by it under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the Securities Act. The audited financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents filed prior to the date hereof fairly present, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis, the financial position of the Company as at the dates thereof and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods then ended.

(f) Full Disclosure. The information contained in this Agreement and the SEC Documents with respect to the business, operations, assets, results of operations and financial condition of the Company, and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, are true and complete in all material respects and do not omit to state any material fact or facts necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

4. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND CERTAIN AGREEMENTS OF THE INVESTOR. The Investor hereby represents and warrants to the Company, and agrees that:

(a) Authorization. The execution of this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary legal action on the part of the Investor. This Agreement constitutes the Investor’s legal, valid and binding obligations, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except (a) as may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’rights generally and (ii) the effect of rules of law governing the availability of equitable remedies and (b) as rights to indemnity or contribution may be limited under federal or state securities laws or by principles of public policy thereunder. The Investor has full corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement.

(b) Purchase for Own Account. The Purchased Shares are being acquired for investment for the Investor’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the public resale or distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act, and the Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. The Investor also represents that it has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Purchased Shares.

(c) Investment Experience. The Investor understands that the purchase of the Purchased Shares involves substantial risk. The Investor has experience as an investor in securities of companies and acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment in the Purchased Shares and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this investment in the Purchased Shares and protecting its own interests in connection with this investment.

(d) Accredited Investor Status. The Investor is an “accredited investor”within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

(e) Restricted Securities. The Investor understands that the Purchased Shares to be purchased by the Investor hereunder are characterized as “restricted securities”under the Securities Act, inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under the Securities Act and applicable regulations thereunder such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. The Investor is familiar with Rule 144 of the SEC, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act and understands that, except as provided in the Investor Rights Agreement (as defined in section 5(f) hereof), the Company is under no obligation to register any of the securities sold hereunder.

(f) Legends. The Investor agree that the certificates for the Purchased Shares shall bear the following legend:

“The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or with any state securities commission, and may not be transferred or disposed of by the holder in the absence of a registration statement which is effective under the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable state laws and rules, or, unless, immediately prior to the time set for transfer, such transfer may be effected without violation of the Securities Act of 1933 and other applicable state laws and rules.”

In addition, the Investor agree that the Company may place stop transfer orders with its transfer agents with respect to such certificates. The appropriate portion of the legend and the stop transfer orders will be removed promptly upon delivery to the Company of such satisfactory evidence as reasonably may be required by the Company that such legend or stop orders are not required to ensure compliance with the Securities Act.

(g) Finder’s Fee. Each Investor neither is nor will be obligated for any finder’s or broker’s fee or commission in connection with this transaction.

(h) Market Stand-Off. The Investor hereby agrees that from the date of the Closing to the date that is six (6) months after the Closing, the Investor shall not, directly or indirectly sell, offer to sell, contract to sell (including, without limitation, any short sale), grant any option to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of any of the Purchased Shares. In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Purchased Shares of the Investor (and the shares or securities of every other person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such period.
